Any of you good folk own a French Lebel revolver?

So, do any of you folk own a French Lebel revolver?

I own one of these gems and it's a fine shooter,,,
But ammo was a bit difficult to find.

Fiocchi makes factory new ammo for it,,,
But according to Fiocchi they only make a run every 3-4-5 years.

The last time it became available I purchased 500 rounds,,,
Now sgammo.com again has it in stock.

Get it while you can my friends.

Or you can reload them yourself with this data.

Looks very similar to a nagant revolver.

What I was thinking

 

[aarondhgraham]

I've always had it in my head that this would make a great display case gun,,,
Especially if it were cased with a Nagant and a Webley of some ilk.

All three of those handguns evoke a sense of the steam locomotive days,,,
At least they do for me.

I wish I would have purchased a Nagant back when they were going for $119.95,,,
But alas, I let that ship leave the harbor.

I had a Nagant, but sold it. Can't believe how much prices have gone up on these.
Not actual pic of mine.

I bought a few nagants back when they were $100. Should have kept them.

Friend of mine has one and he made cases from 44 mag or special brass I think. He had a book that told you how to make obsolete stuff from easy to find stuff

Oops I saw it’s for 8mm I think his was 11mm
